RE: DROP TABLE IF EXISTS - doesnt??
I am certain the SQLBrowser program authors want to hear about this error It may be due to the fact that MYSQL procedures need to have a different delimiter (//) instead of ; e.g. use DBNAME; DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS TABLE_NAME; delimiter //; Anyone?

RE: DROP TABLE IF EXISTS - doesnt??
I am getting this problem when I am calling this from within a stored procedure and from the command line area but from MySQLQueryBrowser Windows package. I have tried the DROP TABLE IF EXISTS from the mysql "DOS-type" command line and it doesn't error - I do notice that (also in your example) that there is a Warning provided. Maybe what I am seeing in the Query Browser area is in fact a Warning message and not an error!!

Hmmm. It works okay for me, without an error when the tabel doesn't exist.

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS - doesnt??
I am finding that DROP TABLE IF EXISTS mytable; Works fine if the table exists - but if it doesn't exist I get an error? Surely it should not error and just not try to drop the table. Is it me?
